There is no way you can be prepared for something like this. It happens suddenly and escalates quickly. No matter how cool you think you are, you can't predict how you would react in such a crisis. Even the professionals make mistakes.

You are going to be lectured about how you don't understand what an AR-15 is and thus have no business stating an opinion on gun policy.

He was playing wordle.

The first couple of weeks after it happened, there was a ray of hope that they might pay. Then the GOP found out that MAGA land loved the insurrection.

I think of serviceable as below average, but useful. 2 WAR is average, so maybe 1.5-2.0 WAR.

I loved this stat. Lou Whitaker is #7 in walkoffs since 1948.

I think they know it's a terrible thing, but they are too selfish to put it ahead of their own personal interests.

I get why people are disturbed by abortion. I am glad that I have never been faced with that decision or was responsible for someone else facing that decision. I think it's a serious issue, but it just isn't obvious to me that it's a child in there.

Abortion and mass killing of children are completely different issues. Every sane person knows that slaughtering 10-year old children is wrong. Abortion is much less obvious because it rarely involves a human being that could exist outside the woman's body. There is no agreement at all as to whether abortion is murder. The majority of Americans think it isn't.

If you've got nothing to hide...

Guns are very serious tools designed for one purpose - killing. Your right to own a gun is not a concern of mine. I am making a concession here though because I know that banning guns is impossible. So, I am allowing responsible people to own guns while proposing things which I believe will make it more difficult for undesirables to get guns. Guns are not toys and should not be treated as such. It's time to stop making excuses and pretending there is nothing we can do to keep the guns out of hands of people that are slaughtering children all over the United States.

Common sense gun laws which will not prevent responsible gun owners from having guns: (1) Must be 21 and over to purchase gun. (2) Must serve in military for at least a year to purchsase a gun. (3) Very strict background checks (4) If you have any kind of criminal background, domestic abuse history or have threatened anyone with violence, you don't get to own a gun. (5) Severe penalties for selling guns to people who don't meet the above criteria. (6) Severe penalties for possessing a gun without meeting the above criteria. (7) Must go to regular training to learn/practice technique and safety. (8) There would also be limits on the number and types of guns people would be allowed to purchase.

I dislike it too. I also dislike American flag clothing. People think it makes them look patriotic, but it seems disrespectful to me.

I have learned that those guys will believe anything if it fits their political agenda. I know people who in real life are generally friendly, reasonable people, but when the topic turns to politics they become nutty.

They are creating an environment which is as similar to the big club as possible. That is smart.

Jason Foley stole his money. Alex Faedo was laughing in the background.

It's stupid, but it's really hard not to, especially when you're young.

It depends on how you define success. About 90% return to pitching, but many either don't do as well or they get injured again. You hear about the ones that do better after surgery, but a lot of them don't have that kind of success.

You will cry when you watch this.

I start considering that pitchers might be a bust due to injury before they even get injured!

I think getting three solid strters would be a great outcome. It's possible, but I am less optimistic than you about the odds.

I definitely empathize with the parents, but we don't know what happened. It's hard to believe they were just standing around nothing while this guy was inside shooting a bunch of little kids. Were some of them inside and the parents just didn't know it?

I don't think you can place any blame oln the cops based on that video. You can't just let people do the cops job in a shooting incident. That's what the gun nuts are always suggesting we should do and I am vehemently opposed to that.

Which Tiger did he think is a professional hitter who knows how to win?
